Hi! I am Elaine Claggett, a world traveler with a passion for dreaming about vacations and making travel adventures happen for everyone. As CEO of SomedayTrips, I truly believe that travel services should begin with dreams and end with amazing travel memories. I fell in love with the Tahitian islands following my first cruise there and have never looked back introducing our customers to the amazing islands and people.

Contact us and let us share why cruising the islands with Paul Gauguin Cruises is a great way to get the most out of a trip to French Polynesia.
